Re: [LI] To run X

Well,
I quote this as an example of how Linux can make use of low end machines. I
recently did a Linux server Installation here in a company in Indore. The
machine is running RH5.2 from the PCQ CD.

The company is using this server for

* giving mail ID's to all employees with one multidrop pop3 account on the
internet
* both IMAP and POP3 enabled
* Dialing to the Internet using kppp and then sharing the Internet
Connection
* Internal Web server
* Internal FTP and News Server
* Caching DNS Server
* Dial In server

It works fine and without a glitch.
The machine configuration is

* 486 DX2 66 Mhz
* 16 MB Ram (recently upgraded to 32 MB)
* 640 MB Hdd
* Monochrome Monitor
* an NE2000 Compatible Adapter
etc
etc

a few days back there was some problem with the ram in the machine which
dropped the Ram to 8 MB
we traced the silly problem after 2 days. In these 2 days the machine was
close to usable and the response time was horrible but it worked fine....and
inspite of the load it never crashed.
